Hi everyone,
Just wondered what everyone’s experiences of first movements were especially in 2nd pregnancy. Just wondering when I might begin to feel baby move as first pregnancy I didn’t till around 22 weeks I’m sure.

Hi @stacy07 this is my second pregnancy and I started feeling movement at 16 weeks and at 19 weeks I started feeling kicks.
How far are you?

First child: 21 weeks

Second child (fell pregnant when first was 7 1/2 months): 20 weeks

Third child (fell pregnant when second child had just turned 4): 14 weeks first feelings and 16 when it was obvious baby kicks.

DC1 Around 20 weeks (but had anterior placenta)
DC2 Around 16 weeks (placenta at the back this time)

To be honest, the second time I think I'm just a lot more aware of what I'm feeling. I know now what early movement feels like, whereas before I probably just dismissed it as wind etc.

I’m 14 weeks just now so I wasn’t expecting to feel just now but just wondered when it might begin! Just excited about feeling first flutters etc, my son is 7 now so has been a big gap between pregnancies! Thanks for your replies xx

@Stacy07 I started feeling the baby moving around 15/16 weeks. I’m now 20 weeks and feeling loads of movement, I’m worried I’m growing a giant baby!

I also have a 7 year gap and I can barely remember anything from my 1st pregnancy 😅!
